virgins.
1 Cor. 7:25‑34,38• 25But concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord; but I give my opinion, as having received mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
 26I think then that this is good, on account of the present necessity, that it is good for a man to remain so as he is.
 27Art thou bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; art thou free from a wife? do not seek a wife.
 28But if thou shouldest also marry, thou hast not sinned; and if the virgin marry, they have not sinned: but such shall have tribulation in the flesh; but I spare you.
 29But this I say, brethren, the time is straitened. For the rest, that they who have wives, be as not having any:
 30and they that weep, as not weeping; and they that rejoice, as not rejoicing; and they that buy, as not possessing;
 31and they that use the world, as not disposing of it as their own; for the fashion of this world passes.
 32But I wish you to be without care. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord;
 33but he that has married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please his wife.
 34There is a difference between the wife and the virgin. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but she that has married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.
 38So that he that marries himself does well; and he that does not marry does better. (1 Cor. 7:25‑34,38)

• Such prophesying was yet more than teaching or preaching. We cannot doubt, therefore, that they used their gift on the one hand; and on the other that it was forbidden to use it in the assembly. (“Acts 21:8-14” by W. Kelly)
• But these maiden daughters of Philip did prophesy, if not in the assembly, somewhere else. Decorum would have forbidden it still more in public, if God’s order prohibited it for the assembly. No place can be conceived more suitable than one’s father’s house. (“Acts 21:8-14” by W. Kelly)
